Buy from here!, the harness you cant use...u need a 95-97 US se-r harness, The ecu you can use if you buy an adapter from here or make it your self. You will need a b13 or b14 5 speed tranny as the orignal will not work unless you got some money... And your gonna need everything on the first page of this thread!

Exactly whatelse would I need to make the swap a success?
And where could I go to buy this

I wish I was doing my swap in a 91; an E weighs next to nothing, and isn't cursed with the complications that arose with my brother's 98. Good luck, man.

Anything else needed to go from 98 GA to 92 2.0 (fuel pump, interior harness)? I have 92 motor and trans, and 98 ecu, 98 engine harness #1 and 98 engine harness #2. Current situation: no prime and a "click" when cranking.

Did this... if anyone can let me know if any other parts are needed for this swap, it would be a big help.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED HELP! IM DOING THE SWAP 1.6 TO 2.0. IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE HARNESS.. EVERYTHING IS FINE UNTILL YOU GET UNDER THE DASH AND THE 2 CLIPS FROM THE ECU DONT CONNECT TO THE PLUGS IN THE DASH. I CUT BOTH OF MY GA16 CLIPS IN THE ATTEPMT TO SPLICE THEM IN WITH THE 2.0 WIRE HANRESS CLIPS... . MY THEORY IS CHECK EVERY WIRE COLOR OF BOTH GA16 CLIP AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY DO AND FIGURE OUT EVERY WIRE THAT THE 2.0 HAS AND THEM MATCH THEM UP WITH THE GA16 CLIP so i can plug it in the dash harness! would that work. PLEASE I NEED HELP THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I CAN LET THIS SET ME BACK !

its a 94b13 the harness im using im not to sure what year it is but i will find out...


ONE OTHER THING. THE GA16 CLIP HAS 6 WIRES ON THE BOTTOM AND 9 WIRES ON THE TOP AND 2.0 CLIP HAS 7 WIRES ON THE BOTTOM AND 9 WIRES ON THE TOP! SO WHAT IS THE 7TH WIRE THAT COME OUT OF THE 2.0 CLIP


THE OTHE 2 CLIPS BOTH HAVE 6 WIRES COMMING OUT OF THEM....


sorry i about the caps i wrote alot of it before i relize it was on and im to lazy to rewrite everything.

I am assuming your car is a b14.

From what I've experienced, no b13 harness is going to work well in the b14.

Just to clarify, though, let us know the following:

- what year your car is
- what year your motor is
- what year engine (one side starts at distributor/front o2 and the other end connects to the ECU) and starter (one side connects to battery, other to starter; this harness connects to engine/ECU harness) harnesses you're attempting to use
- what year ECU do you have

Your problem is wrong parts being used, a simple problem.... I'd honestly stop splicing and cutting harnesses!

If you have a b13, and are using the SE-R engine harness, there will be two plugs that don't match. Look at the colors of the wires going into the plugs that don't match up. Several will be the same color, just splice these together. Those that don't match in color forget about. I have no idea what they do, but my car ran fine w/o them spliced.

Sorry i can't help more.

so you are saying just take the same color wires and match them no matter where they are located on the other clip.. umm would it be possible to take pics???


ok here are the colors of the 6 wire plug GA16 pink with black stripe,yellow with black stripe,blue with black stripe,bigger gage redwith black stripe smaller gauge black with red stripe and silver dots. the SR20 has bigger gauge orange, 2 bigger gauge solid white, white with black stripe and pink with black stripe. accoring to what you are saying i should only have 2 wires that connect. and leave the others alone.....the 2 are pink with black stripe and the white one

the other plug...GA has 9 wires on top and 6 on the bottom SR20 has 9 on top and 7 in the bottom. to many colors to put down but all in all every color matches except 4, the 4 are black with orange stripe, green with orange stripe, solid red,and like a a torquoze with red stripe... does that sound about right to you???

The car i did that swap on has been crushed into a cube for atleast 2 years now, and I did the swap about 2 years prior to that. I don't recall exactly. I just did what I posted above ***, matched up the same colored wires and spliced em together and the car ran like a champ.

and that is exactly what i wanted to ***. but the thing that confuses me about what you did when you match the colors is..... did your wires cross from each other for example. number 1 pin on the ga16 clip has a yellow wire and number 6 pin on the 2.0 harness has a yellow wire. ...according to what you did you just took both wires and connected them from the 2.0 harness even if it was in a diffrent pin locatation.... yes! if so then that is all i need.

Help!

Hey guys, I could really use some help here. I had John (supercowboy on the forum) drop a SR20DE RR (B15 SE) into my ’98 200SX GA. Everything was fine up to the wiring. We’ve got a wiring harness from a ’96 SE-R and ’98 SE-R on hand.

Here's the deal…

There are three ports that go to the Dash. These three plugs fit into those ports. However you can see that there are actually 4 plugs. This hopefully shouldn't be a big deal. As long as the speedo/tach/warning lights work, that's all that matters. Not needed to get the car running, but obviously it’s kind of important.



What is a big deal is that these three are plugs from the engine harness ('96) and are the only ones that don't have a home (the plugs don't match). According to the wiring diagram they hook up to the neutral switch, speed sensor, starter motor, EGR valve, purge control, engine coolant temp sensor and engine oil pressure switch.



But, these three plugs are supposed to connect to these two ports.



Any ideas? This is my only car and it's been down for more than two weeks already... need it back on the road! Thanks in advance.

On interior side....if its a 98 chassis you will need a 98 ser engine harness for the interior plugs to match up...other than that you need to switch the interior harness to a 95-97 ser...and they plug up....thats the route i went..

Exterior
the one wire connector i hard wired in....connector were different...(starter signal)
Does the 8 conn match the other 8 conn?? if so plug...and im sure there has go to be another spot for that 6 one....ill look in the car in a lil bit but for know this should get you started.

The one plug vs. two plug is the starter signal... should be black with white stripe; turn the ignition and test the thicker wire on the 2 pin; then check continuity between the single pin and the starter signal (at starter). The 8 pins should plug up together. The 6 pin one I want to say I left alone on my 98 swap... but this 98 was a stripped down XE with roll down windows.
